      I think that within "Lessons learned from Florida" it is evident that teaching practices need to build and support our students so that they are indeed able to use higher level thinking in order to perform. We need to be teaching reading for enjoyment and meaning, not reading for speed or to pass a grade. It is horrible to put that amount of pressure on our young students...

  • “I think it’s well intended – making sure kids are able to read at the third grade level. But it takes away local control,” Parmigian said. “We know our kids. Everyone is different. We work on the best situation to help those kids.”
  • Daily reading intervention classes will be offered for those who don’t pass the test, Dennis Mock , superintendent, said. Then all third graders will take the test again in the spring.
  • district officials interpret the law to mean students will have to re-do third grade reading but can continue on to fourth grade

      Where are they going to find the time during the school day for the reading intervention classes?  What other curriculum areas will suffer because teachers/students are focused on passing the state reading test?

      Assisting students in reading to promote success begins long before third grade and before a child steps into a school building.  While the state is holding educators accountable, I ask myself why isn't more being done to start off children with more of an advantage.  Equip schools with preschools.  When children cannot receive the reading exposure they need at home, schools should provide more.
  • In families, parents are the first teachers, preparing their children to read simply by talking and reading to them frequently. They can also be the first to spot health and developmental problems that may lead to reading difficulties. But parents do not always know what to look for or how to help their children, and access to health care is essential. Poverty is strongly associated with lack of health insurance coverage. For example, 10 percent of people in families with incomes of $50,000 or more are not covered by health insurance, but this jumps to 19 percent for those with family incomes between $25,000 and $49,999, and to 29 percent for those with family incomes below $25,000.23 Children in poor families also are more likely than their peers to have parents with limited education, because lower education is associated with earning lower incomes.24 These findings suggest that pol

    It's never too early to learn how to read or to share books with your children, students and other educators. I agree preschool sets the children up for success.

    I firmly believe that a parent is the best way to boost a child's knowledge before they begin school. I never attended pre-school, and yet I was reading by the middle of my kindergarten year. The sad fact is that some parents just don't care enough, or find educating their child important enough to give them the head start that they need. Pre-school isn't a requirement, and unless a family meets the income qualifications, it can be quite pricey. I currently have a student who is in foster care, he is smart, and inquisitive, and hard working. He will be going back to live with his blood relatives next week. After talking to his foster family, they have shared their opinion that once he leaves their care, he will not be taken to school, or helped to boost his skills in any way. His birth family told him that he does not need to do his homework, that it is not important. It is a very sad situation.

      Wouldn't these kiddos be behind in the rest of their academics? I am not sure what the repercussions would be based on the midyear integration. 
  • Once a student is promoted midyear, they are considered a fourth grade student in all subjects and will take the fourth grade state assessments.
  • For each student retained under division (A) of this section who has demonstrated proficiency in a specific academic ability field, each district shall provide instruction commensurate with student achievement levels in that specific academic ability field. As used in this division, "specific academic ability field" has the same meaning as in section 3324.01 of the Revised Code.

    This is the source that The Ohio Department of Education would like parents and teachers to use. They have two really great resources. It includes phonics, and a variety of fiction stories, and using highlighting to focus on reading left to right. On the other hand, does every student learn the same way? What other resources can families and teachers use?
